China Post opens first independent intercontinental flight route

China Post on Wednesday opened its first independent intercontinental flight route, linking Nanjing City, east China’s Jiangsu Province, and Luxembourg, and covering 36 European countries.

The new route is expected to cut delivery time to major European destinations to at maximum four to seven days. The flight for the new route is the wide-body all-cargo Boeing 777-F aircraft introduced by China Post for the first time. Its maximum commercial weight can reach 102 tons, and the flight from Nanjing to Luxembourg Airport in Findel can be completed in less than 11 hours.
